A method for increasing the exhaust temperature of an exhaust system. The method includes receiving an inlet temperature of a selective catalytic reduction system; determining whether the inlet temperature meets a temperature setpoint; adjusting an exhaust manifold pressure setpoint based on the determination of the inlet temperature; determining whether the exhaust manifold pressure of at least one of first or second bank meet the exhaust manifold pressure setpoint; and causing an adjustment of an effective flow area of at least one of the first bank or second bank based on the exhaust manifold pressure, the adjustment of the effective flow area structured to increase exhaust temperature during light load operation.

A method includes: receiving an inlet temperature of a selective catalytic reduction system; comparing the inlet temperature to a temperature setpoint; and adjusting at least one of a first exhaust manifold pressure setpoint for a first cylinder bank of an engine or a second exhaust manifold pressure setpoint for a second cylinder bank of the engine, based on the comparison.

An exhaust purifying device mounted in a working vehicle includes: an exhaust passage through which an exhaust gas discharged from an engine flows; a throttle valve configured to change a passage area of the exhaust passage; an exhaust aftertreatment device disposed downstream of the throttle valve; and a valve controller configured to control an open degree of the throttle valve. The valve controller is configured to control the open degree of the throttle valve to be larger in a low load region below a predetermined load range and in a high load region exceeding the predetermined load range than in a medium load region that is the predetermined load range.

Embodiments for heating a vehicle cabin are disclosed. In one example, a method for heating a vehicle cabin comprises closing an exhaust throttle while diverting at least a portion of throttled exhaust gas through an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler coupled upstream of the throttle, and transferring heat from the EGR cooler to a heater core configured to provide heat to the vehicle cabin. In this way, exhaust heat may be directly routed to the cabin heating system.
